The Porcupine's Quill is not in the business of thwarting the careers of promising young authors. Many of our writers, in fact, `graduate' to large, trade houses -- many of them multi-nationals. Congratulations to the following PQL alumni! |
Michael Winter |
Michael Winter's One Last Good Look was shortlisted for the Newfoundland Provincial Book Award 2000. This award is given for the best work of fiction in the past two years by a Newfoundland writer. World rights to this title will transfer to the House of Anansi as of 31 December, 2000. The House of Anansi will release a new edition of this title in the spring of 2001. |
